Is this about FTBFS issues?  There isn't any recent build failure in
Koji, so I don't get why it's on this list?

The build currently in Rawhide was done on Fedora 36 which is end of life.

Apparently the release engineering team has not rebuilt this package
in a mass rebuild at least since Fedora 35.

To remove it from the list, build the package on Rawhide please.

That's not what the subject line and the policy say, though.  The policy
requires failing builds and FTBFS bugs in Bugzilla.

Please update the policy if you think this is no longer appropriate.

IMHO it is what the policy says, quite explicitly:

From https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/#_package_removal_for_long_standing_ftbfs_and_fti_bugs

"""
Cca six weeks before the Fedora N mass branching, packages that weren’t successfully rebuilt at least in Fedora N-2 are collected and weekly reminders are sent to affected maintainers and the Fedora devel mailing list.

Cca a week before the Fedora N mass branching, packages that weren’t successfully rebuilt at least in Fedora N-2 will be retired assuming there have been at least 5 warnings on the devel mailing list. The bug status has no effect on this retirement. This can be requested via a releng issue.
"""

When I included glibc32 in the list, it wasn't successfully rebuilt at least in Fedora 37.

We could argue what "successfully rebuilt" actually means, but when I wrote that policy, the spirit was "an actual built shipped to Fedora users" rather than "a Koschei rebuild".



I see you rebuilt it now, thanks.

Should I open a releng ticket to include this package in the next mass rebuild?
